A. PARALLEL TO BEING RELEASED FROM MARRIAGE (1-3)
1. Law has dominion over those who live under it (1)
2. As illustrated by a woman who is married to a man (2-3)
Before death, the law of marriage is binding… “till death do us part”.
death dissolves those connections and relations which make law binding in life.
B. THEY HAVE DIED TO THE LAW (4-6)
1.
So they can be married to Christ (4)
We are in Christ…
We died with Him: released from our marriage to the law
We rose with Him: free to marry Christ
2. So they can serve in newness of the Spirit, far superior to serving in the oldness of the letter (5-6)
So you also must – As Christ died to sin once
consider (count - logizomai) yourselves dead to sin … alive to God [Present, Middle, Imperative]
let not sin reign [Present, Active, Imperative] in your mortal body (the unregenerate flesh)
Note: the grammar seems to indicate that the more you count ourselves dead to sin, the less sin will reign in your mortal bodies!
What does it mean to have died to the Law?
What it is not…
Freedom from it’s obedience (antinomianism)
Freedom from it’s obligation
What it is…
Freedom from it’s condemnation
Freedom from it as a way of justification and sanctification
